To celebrate the opening of THE TRUTH – his first film shot outside his native Japan – IFC Center presents a comprehensive retrospective of Hirokazu Kore-Eda. From his first feature, the Venice award-winner MABOROSI (1995), Kore-Eda’s films have garnered worldwide acclaim, praised for their deep empathy and their complex sense of family relationships. Program highlights include AFTER LIFE (1998), his first international hit; Cannes prize-winners NOBODY KNOWS (2004, Best Actor), LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON (2013, Jury Prize) and SHOPLIFTERS (2018, Palme d’Or); rare early works; and more.
